A project that spends its life in a bad mood because project stakeholders are unhappy is a project in trouble – one running on empty of motivation, innovation, trust, and confidence. These emotion-driven qualities are rooted in the right-brain and serve as the lifeblood for succeeding on what Michael Aucoin calls “stretch projects.”

Creative Leadership for Project Teams is grounded in real-world knowledge and experience – straight from the project street. This course will provide you extensive references to research and the experiences of project managers who use right-brain approaches successfully on a regular basis in their work.

Description

B. Michael Aucoin, D.Engr., PE, PMP and a recipient of a Third Millennium Medal from the IEEE guides you through a study of several projects that performed phenomenally because they made use of right-brain ingredients. This course also highlights great techniques for accessing powerful right-brain capabilities with a “Right-Brain Toolkit” feature.

Learning Outcomes:

Describe how people develop patterns of thinking and attitudes as well as how this has a profound effect on the management of projects

List what truly motivates people to overcome obstacles which stand in the way of their objectives

Explain eight principles of right-brain project management as well as how to implement them within the context of the contemporary project environment

“It reinforced my sense that Project Management is not just for software or technology projects. I found great value in doing things using good judgement rather than ‘step 1-2-3’ type management.”
